                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       The accompanying interim financial statements of Biospherics
Incorporated (the "Company") do not include all of the information and
disclosures generally required for annual financial statements and are
unaudited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of
June 30, 1999, and the results of its operations for the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and its cash flows for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. This report should be read in
conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 1998.

2.     NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

       Basic earnings (loss) per common share have been computed by dividing
net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
during the year. Diluted loss per common share have been computed by dividing
net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding without
an assumed increase in common shares outstanding for common stock equivalents
during 1999, as stock equivalents are antidilutive. During 1998, diluted
earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income by the
weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding with an assumed increase
in Common Shares outstanding for Common Stock equivalents.

3.     INCOME TAXES

       Based on the Company's losses for the six months ended June 30, 1999,
and its accumulated deficit, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance
against the net deferred tax asset.

4.     DEFERRED REVENUE

       Deferred revenue includes a $1,000,000 non-refundable advance against
future royalties from the D-tagatose licensing agreement with MD Foods
Ingredients amba of Denmark. The advance will be recoverable at 50% of such
annual royalties.

5.     PRIVATE PLACEMENT

       In December 1997, the Company completed a $3 million private offering
of 375,000 units to a single institutional investor (the "Investor"). Each
unit consisted of two (2) shares of Common Stock and two (2) Warrants, with
exercise prices of $4.00 and $4.50 per share, respectively. The Warrants were
exercisable throughout a three (3) year period. All shares issued in
connection with the December 1997 private placement, including all which may
be issued pursuant to exercise of the Warrants, have been registered by the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-44973).

       Prior to March 31, 1999, the Investor exercised warrants with an
exercise price of $4.00 per share for 125,000 shares of Common Stock. On
March 31, 1999, the Investor agreed to exercise the balance of its $4.00 per
share Warrants (i.e., for 250,000 shares of Common Stock) in consideration
for the Company's grant to the Investor of a new three-year Warrant for
250,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $8.00 per share (the
"1999 Warrant I"). As part of the transaction, the Company has registered the
shares of Common Stock underlying the 1999 Warrant I.

       On May 21, 1999, the Investor agreed to exercise all of its $4.50 per
share Warrants (i.e., for 375,000 shares of Common Stock) in consideration
for the Company's grant to the Investor of a new three-year Warrant for
375,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $6.40 per share (the
"1999 Warrant II"). As part of the transaction, the Company has registered
the shares of Common Stock underlying the 1999 Warrant II.

       The shares underling the 1999 Warrant I and the 1999 Warrant II, have
been registered by the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3
(Registration No. 333-79593).

                                  ----------

       During April 1999, the Company issued 6,368 shares of Common Stock
previously held in the treasury in payment of expenses. The excess of the
purchase price of the treasury stock over the value of the stock on the date
of issuance has been charged to retained earnings in the amount of $5,263.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB may contain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and are identified by the use of forward-looking words or phrases such as
"believes," "expects," is or are "expected," "anticipates," "anticipated,"
"should" and words of similar impact. These forward-looking statements are
based on the Company's current expectations. Because forward looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties, the Company's actual results
could differ materially. See the Company's Form 8-K filing dated March 26,
1999, for a more detailed statement concerning forward-looking statements.

       Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which
separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by
the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how
to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company is managed
along two business segments, the Information Services Division (ISD) and the
BioTech Programs Unit.

</TABLE>

       The Company reported a net loss of $842,005 ($0.09 per share, diluted)
on sales of $3,583,379, and a net loss of $1,835,819 ($0.20 per share,
diluted) on sales of $6,549,274 for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 1999, respectively.

       The ISD's revenue for the three and six months ended June 30,1999,
decreased $1.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in relation to the
same periods in 1998. The decrease in revenue is primarily the result of the
realization of less than projected business growth of the National Park
Service contract, augmented by the completion of two contracts in 1998.
Facing these challenges the Company has performed significant re-engineering
efforts across its business lines, Corporate structure, and its Divisional
structure over the past two quarters. The Company has also taken steps to
reduce overhead costs to increase its competitiveness in the marketplace.
These efforts have increased profitability in the Health and Commercial
business, to make this line the profit leader for the Company. The government
projects business has also seen significant results in increased
profitability on all business, with the exception of the National Park
Service contract. With the addition of scheduled new business for the
up-coming Park season and the incorporation of performance-enhancing
initiatives, greater returns on the Park Service contract are anticipated.
The Company is currently negotiating on several new commercial contracts and
anticipates seeing results of these efforts in the fourth quarter of 1999.

                                  ----------

       BioTech revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, were
consistent with those of the prior year. Increases in operating expenses are
a result of the expansion of the BioTech laboratory. In addition to an
initial license fee of $1.5 million, the Company received payment aggregating
$1,000,000 in the first quarter of 1997 under the MDFI License Agreement
representing a non-refundable advance against future royalties. This payment
is classified as deferred revenue in the balance sheet.

       Selling, general and administrative expenses ("S,G&A") for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1999, were consistent with those of 1998.

       Depreciation expense increased $107,630 and $309,759 for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1999, compared with the same periods in 1998. The
increase was due to the Company's increased investment in technology and
product development. Included in the research and development expense for the
six months ended June 30, 1999, is depreciation expense of $13,022.

       Based on the Company's losses for the six months ended June 30, 1999,
and its accumulated deficit, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance
against the net deferred tax asset.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       The Company renewed its Loan Agreement (the "Agreement") with
NationsBank N.A. (the "Bank") on May 18, 1998, which provides for borrowing
up to $2 million, subject to advance rates as defined in the Agreement. This
Agreement has been extended through the end of August. Outstanding borrowings
under the Agreement aggregated $1,000,930 at June 30, 1999, and are
collateralized by the Company's accounts receivable. The interest rate is the
Bank's prime rate plus .75% per annum. The Loan Agreement contains covenants
that require the Company to meet certain tangible net worth and cash flow
coverage ratios. The Company was in violation of the bank covenants as of
December 31, 1998. The violation was waived by the Bank. As of June 30, 1999,
the Company was in compliance with the bank Covenants. The line expires on
August 31, 1999, but the Company anticipates that the line will be renewed.
However, if the Company is unable to extend the line of credit and obtain
adequate financing, material adverse consequences could result.

       The Company also renewed, on May 18, 1998, a commitment from the Bank
to assist in financing equipment purchases related to potential new
contracts. This arrangement consists of a series of loans for the acquisition
of computer systems and related telecommunication equipment not to exceed a
maximum aggregate of $1 million. Additional terms include repayment of each
loan in thirty-six (36) equal monthly installments at a fixed interest rate
equal to the Treasury Index plus 275 basis points. Outstanding borrowings
under this commitment aggregated $630,686 at June 30, 1999, and that amount
is collateralized by the equipment purchased.

       Cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 1999, reflects a net cash
outflow of $389,706, resulting from $1.5 million used in operating activities,
$1.2 million used in investing activities, and $2.4 million provided by
financing activities. Cash flow from operating activities in the first half
of 1999 decreased $239,315 from those of the prior year. The decrease in
operating cashflow is the result of two contracts which were completed in
1998 and to disappointing returns on the National Park Service contract.
Investment in property and equipment aggregated $1.2 million, and represented
a $1.2 million reduction from that of the prior year as a result of the
completion of the Company's major product development, which includes the
computer-telephony integration (CTI) system, ReserveSuite(TM) and
HealthSuite(TM). The investment was used in upgrading the Company's
information and telecommunications systems, and in the continued development
of the Company's new software products used by ISD. The Company considers the
development of these products adequate for the near term. It does not
anticipate major continued capital investment. The above investments were
financed in part through proceeds from the exercise of stock warrants and
borrowings under the Bank's equipment lines of credit.

       Working capital as of June 30, 1999, was $718,091, which represents a
$2.1 million decrease from working capital of $2.8 million at June 30, 1998,
but an increase of $644,147 over working capital as of March 31, 1999. This
decrease was the result of continued investment in telecommunication and
computer systems, the development of computer software products to improve
the Company's long-term competitive position, the Company's entry into the
healthcare Demand Management business in 1998, and the operating losses
incurred by the Company. Future capital requirements to start new contracts
and maintain existing programs will be proportionately less.

       It is anticipated that royalties on sales by MDFI could begin in 2001.

Y2K DISCLOSURE

       GENERAL

       Biospherics Incorporated utilizes software, information systems and
infrastructure components that may be affected by Year 2000 issues. During
fiscal year 1998, the Company began to implement plans to ensure those
systems continue to meet its internal and external requirements via its Y2K
Project (Project). During fiscal year 1998, the Company's largest division,
Information Services Division, completed modifications and testing of its
primary information systems. These systems modifications included a complete
modernization of the Company's infrastructure systems, as well as testing and
modification to all critical and secondary enterprise systems.

       The Company is in the process of obtaining the remaining 10% of the
determination documentation from vendors for Year 2000 impact. The Company
will continually monitor its vendors, suppliers, and is now focusing on
clients to evaluate their progress and impact. The Company has evaluated its
non-information systems components; such as, facility systems, telephone
services, and the like. To date, evaluations have yielded marked progress in
all third party areas with no evidence of critical issue or impact.

       PROJECT

       Biospherics' Project was designed to address internal and external
components. It was phased, running from the third quarter of 1998 and
concluding in the second quarter of 1999, the project included a detailed
milestone and project timeline. Biospherics' Project is on target and
schedule, with phase one of the Project completed with the development of an
inventory of all systems internal and external to the Company. Phase two of
the project was completed with an assessment of the inventory of systems
internal to the Company. Phase three and phase four run parallel in timeline;
phase three was on target for completion in the first quarter of 1999 with
the plan and schedule for any and all remediation for systems internal to the
Company. Phase four was also on target for completion in the second quarter
of 1999 with the assessment of all systems external to the Company. Phases
five and six, completion phases of the Project, are on schedule and are in a
closing and monitoring phase.

CONCLUSION AND COSTS

       Based on the progress the Company has made in addressing its Year 2000
issues and the fact that many of the Company's information systems are
already serving year 2000 future dates in production, the Company does not
foresee significant risks associated with its Year 2000 compliance at this
time. Projected expenses of remediation efforts and updates were budgeted for
a total of $450,000, to date compliance and remediation costs have totaled
approximately $200,000. If the Company identifies, in the course of its
active and continual monitoring, any significant risks related to its Year
2000 compliance, the Company will develop more in depth contingency plans as
deemed necessary at that time.

RISKS

       The failure to successfully complete the Biospherics Y2K Project,
identifying and remedying all critical potential failures internal and
external to the Company, could result in an interruption in normal business
processes or sub-processes. Such failures could negatively impact the
Company's operations and, as a result, impact the Company's financial
condition. The Y2K industry problem holds inherent uncertainty, therefore, it
is impossible at this time for Biospherics to affirm with certainty the level
of impact from vendors, suppliers, and clients. The Biospherics' Project was
designed to reduce this level of uncertainty with regard to Y2K compliance
and readiness of internal and external systems. Biospherics believes that
with the progress of the Project, outcomes of testing, and the production
systems already serving the Year 2000, that the possibility of negative
impact and operational interruptions will be significantly reduced.
